Jack Johnson Offered $20,000
for a Bout in This City.
M'MAHONS NOW IN FIELD
Would Match Champion with
Joe Jeannette at the Empire
Athletic Club. .
If tho plans of Joss and Edward Mc
Mahon aie completed. Jack Johnson, th?*
heavyweight champion of the world, end
Joe Jeannette, whom some critic"? regar I
as the . hampion's most formtdabta rivn).
Will ine.'t In a ten-ro lud bout h? tore the
Eniptr I Athl.-tio ?'lull r>f this city In tlie
r.ear future. Th? M-M.ihnn brothers have
?.ff.r'.l s paree of ?20,tv?0 for a match be?
tween th?> men, of which, am?.mt Johnson
Is to receive BS,*M0 and Jeannette 15.000.
Although Johnson has held OUI for S flat
guarantee of S3B.0O0 it is generally believed
t lie Mad a (?out of twenty rounds or
more in view, ami ?hat he will be willing
tu an-.W-0 to
meet Jeannette, so that the boni of ten
rounds would be worth 120.000 to him under
any clrcumstaiK
In a letter to the sporting editor of The
Tribune last evening .its? and Ed. lie?
aiah'?n s-ay:
For some time we have been Interested in
the promoting ??f nigh class boxlns i matches In which
both contestants were of equal class.
We now want t? preeenl t the NeVl York
boxinK fats' th?- world's heevyweighl
Champion, Jack Johnson. While we a":-r?
date that Johnson would be a tremendous
attraction with almost any one, at the
same time we will only match hirn with the
man who in our opinion is capable of giv?
ing him a Rood contest We refer to Joe
Jeennette, who is n?> doubt the next beat
man to Johnson in the heavyweight Une.
We an i repar? 1 t.i giv be ?livid? d M follows:
lio.'ioii for John.-..n and 16.000 for Jeannette.
A? Johnson has-, been demanding $80,000
for a content, we assume that In ??ni-1 to
get thH? -,mount It woi.Id have to he a con?
test of twenty rounds or more, so we are
practically Riving him his own terms, or
115,000 for t> n rounds.
We hr:\-e wired this offo? to Johnson, and
have Stipulated that it would have tp be
with Jeannette, f ?r there is no other ma:i
in the country to-dry who can give John?
son a good baut. While the "white hoi es"
are. all right as "white hopes." the match?
ing of them with Johnson would be ridicu?
lous.
The Empire Athletic Clnh will seat ?.iVio
persons, but on the night of th" "K. O."
. ftrown-I,each Cross bout over 6.000 Jammed
the hall. At an average of $5 per seat the
Johnson-Jeannette meeting would draw $30,
000, so that it could be held at a profit, as
even at that average tickets would be at a
premium.
If Johnson sticks to the announcement he
made yesterday, th?? chances are against
bis appearing here with Jeannette as an
opponent, although the opportunity to pick
up an extra 120,000 may be tempting
enough to make him accept the offer. He
Is quoted as saying In Chicago last night:
"I'm going to licht Sam McVey in Paris
on the night of the ?'rand Prix. I think
June 2.",. an?l I'll ?iiJit Flynn sum?- time be?
fore that, either in New York or Nevada.
"There has been so much stuff published
It's hard to tell where I'm at, and I want
te straighten It up. Every manager of a
fighter who by tho widest stretch of the
imagination might be called a heavy?
weight has been seeking publicity for his
man by a lot of talk about a match with
Johnson.
"Johnson has two matches coming?the
two I named, and no mora Wben there
are more. I'll announce them."
The chamrion said the McVey artbl-s
would be signed in legal form to-day and
that the Flynn contracts would be signed
within a day or two.
Harry Woherton. the new manager of
the Yankees, did not return to this city
yesterday. It was said at the office of th?.
club that he was now expected to-morrow.
Plans for the spring training trip at At?
lanta are being made. Hal Chase says he

To the credit of the American it mm
lbs aef down that his play was f,\r sup'-rlc
to that which either William A. *__t_ed i
Baals C. Wright ??isplayed in their single
mati-hes last Monday.
Early In the day it was evident that a
least ?me match would not be played an.
that possibly both might be ?I? faulted. Thl
caused some uneasiness and embarrassm'-n
for the committee, as sittings had beet

CORNELL TURNS TABLES
Defeats Yale Seven at Hockey
After Losing Two Games.
Syracuse, Jan. 3.?Cornell outplayed the
Yale hockey seven at all stages of the third
match of a practice series to-night, and
won by a score of I to 0. Yale won the first
match at 5 to 1 and the second at 1 tt*?-.
Carhart alone saved Yale a worse beat
Int? by stopping many hard shots in goal.
In some respects, however, the team work
of Yale was better.
The most spectacular shot of the match
was from the centre of the rink by Smith.
It went true as a die over the beads of
several of the players and lodged squarely
In th? net. Cornell's first score was made
by Eddie Hill, rover, who put up a strong
game. After Tewksberry had taken the
.llsk up the Bids of the ring Hill came up
from behln?! and about ten yards from th?
net made a beautiful shot, whi?-h set the
? orncll crowd applauding.
?ornell will face Columbia here on Sat?
urday in the op?i'nlng game of the Intercol?
legiate series.

MANAGER BODLEY OUSTED
Removed for Playing Pearson on
Basketball Team.
f Ry Teleirraph to The Tribune. |
Philadelphia. Jan. 3?James Bodley, the
well known runner, has b?-en ousted as the
manager ?if the basketball team of the
University of Pennsylvania by the faculty
committee because b?> played Pearson, a
forward, in the recent game against St.
John's College.
From the explanation given Pearson
had mor-? than two conditions, and under
grailuates at the 1'nlveslty of Pennsyl?
vania are forbidden to particip?t- in ath?
letics If they have more than two con?
ditions. The faculty committee declares
Bodley was aware of the class standing of
Pearson, ami therefore took summary ae
tlon. William Mlrkll, who has been as?
sistant manager of the team, has been ad?
vanced to manager.
Bodley is a senior In the college depart?
ment and Is one of the best distance run?
ners at the university.

Test JVotv for Golfers
Over Fojc Hills Linfa
Course Lengthened and
Made More Difficult
by Two Strokes.
As Intimated In this column some time
ago, work has been progressing on the
links of the Fox Hills Golf Club, which,
when completed, will give that well known
Stalen island organization a championship
course. A brief description of the changes
has been glv"*n. but now P. W. Pogson,
ehatraaaa of tha greens ?'ommittee. come?
forward with a full explanation. The total
length has been Increased from 5,736 to 6.303
yards, with a new par of seventy-four, as
against seventy-two formerly. The most
radical change appears at the sixth hole,
Increased from MS to 557 yards.
Mr. Pogson's statement follows:
"An analysis of the ne*,*- card shows two
par three holes out, two par three holes
in. four par four hole? out. four par four
holes In, thre? par f)\ distances given are measurements
taken from centre of tee to centre of green
in a direct line In most Instances, but tak?
ing Into ?ffect the configuration of the
?round where configuration affects the
play.
"The changes made or partly completed
are as follows:
"The first hole is to be changed by add?
ing some distance to the ta-'k of the
green and removing the present terrace In
the rear and removing part of that at the
right of the green.
"A new tee has been built at the second
hole sixteen yards back and one at the
third hole twenty-nine yards hack.
"A new tee has been built at the fourth
hole some twelve yards back and the green
extended to make a total a?ldltlon to this
hole of twenty-five yards.
A new fifth hole has been made which
will be a 157-yard shot to a green near the
present eleventh. The green will be sur?
rounded by sand pits; this will make a first
class hole. m
AUTOMOBILES.
"The sixth hole has been ?tended VA
yards. The drive will he on or over tho
plateau, where the present fifth green Is.
The rough between the road and the old
sixth gneen will be made into fair green.
"At the tenth a new tee has been built
twenty-nine yards back, which will put the
short driver Into a first basin and necessi?
tate a spoon for tho second shot, while tho
long driver would reach well into the sec?
ond basin and have a mashle or iron shot?
as he has to-day.
At the eleventh the tee ha? been put back
nineteen yards.
"At the fourteenth a new tee has bee?
built 151 yards back of the old tee, and the
drive will now be made into Hell's Kitchen,
Instead of over It. aa in the past. The short
driver can keep to the left and easily get
down Into Hell's Kitchen, but If he do?ss so
It will take him two mor? shots to reach
the Krecn. Tho long driver can keep more
to the right, and If the first shot Is placed
right It will be possible to reach the green
In two. The ditch In Hell's Kitchen will be
filled up to the dividing line of the thir?
teenth fair green and the fair green brought
back to about 130 yards from the new tee.
"At the seventeenth a new tee has been
built back thirty yards, and the banln con?
taining rough, which caught a short dthe
from the old tee, will be cleaned out, so
that the short driver who cannot clear the
basin from the new tee will have a chan
ond defeat will relegate him to the ranks of
the "has-beens," Henri St. Yves, th? Fren- h
Marathon runner, lias trained faithful1 y fe?
his return match race this evening with
Al Raines, the New York professional mid?
dle distance runner, at the Metropolitan
roller skating rink. The distance of the
race Is twelve miles, which is more to the
liking of St. Yves than ten miles, which
was the distance travelled by the pair In
their first meeting, two week? ago. Raines
also Is In good condition, and declares that
he will repeat his victory over the French?
man.
